Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses. I really do appreciate hearing from all of you.
I want to ask this question because every witness has raised this, both in this study and in the previous study as well. It is the question of systemic racism embedded within IRCC. The question then is how we get at it. There are different streams that we can always cite. In the caregiver stream, definitely the government's approach is inherently biased and racist and discriminatory, in my view, because it's the only temporary foreign worker stream where they cannot bring their families to come until after much lobbying. Why can't they have landed status on arrival, as an example, when it has been proven that we actually need caregivers here in Canada?
From that perspective, what I think needs to be done—and I would love to get the perspective from all the witnesses—is that the government should bring in an independent ombudsperson to examine all of IRCC's policies and their application so that we can address the systemic racism within IRCC once and for all.
I will start with Mr. Shorifuzzaman first, then we'll go to Rainbow Refugee and then we'll come back to our witness here in person.
